Prob with the I6 was it couldn't pass emissions anymore. I really think they should throw the 3L diesel from the GC in the wranger, that would be a good combo. Or at least the 4.7 V8.

We put a set of 33" tires on 16" wheels on a 2dr wrangler, and it had troubles hitting 80. The 07 Rubicon we traded in with a 4" lift and 35's was a joke on the interstate (and sucked at the gas pump)

Bah. Screw the environment. Don't you know? Global warming is no more, now the earth is cooling. That means we need to step up the polution to keep us from freazin!!!

You're right though. That V6 is pathetic. Most V6's are. On the other hand, most I6's are flippin indestructable beasts. Why the heck has the I6 gone by the wayside in almost anything except the Cummins powered trucks?

Lets see you run that SS out 180,000 miles, skipping oil changes often, and dogging the hell out of it all the time. Let's see if that SS still runs as good as this Cherokee. Matter of fact, I'd line this old beat up Cherokee next to your SS any day. You'd be surprised, it'd probably hang with ya pretty darn close.
